Nick and Hellen and Stergio,

I met you shortly in my interactions with Michael. He painted some parts for my car back in the winter and he did everything he could to take care of my needs at the time. You have lost a good son, a free spirit.

May he rest in peace and it still tears at me to know this has happened to someone that I knew.

The Family & Friends, I am so sorry to hear about Michael. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Michael was such a great guy and so happy, last time I seen him and talked to him on the phone he was always thinking about his baby (Serrita) and wanting to always make her happy. They were so happy and in love and had a future together. This tragic accident doesnt seem real. We miss him and he will always be remembered and be in our hearts.

To my "favorite" cousin, Michael:

Words cannot express how much you meant to me. We were so close for so many years. You were more like a brother to me than a cousin. My heart hurts so much because I never had the chance to tell you that I loved you one last time. You had a good heart and knew how to enjoy life. I'm so proud of the man you became. May you rest peacefully in His arms and may we rely on His strength to get us through this. I will miss you, but I trust we will see each other again in heaven. Until then, I will keep you in my heart and thank God for each moment we shared together. I love you, Michael.

Love Always,

Kat
